Ööö-, päeva- ja lauluraamat (Estonian: Night, Day and Songbook) is a posthumous collection of the lyrics of songs written by or regularly performed by modern day troubadour Jaak Johanson, and includes facsimile copies of selections from his diary notebook and art work. The work had been planned out by Johanson prior to his passing from leukemia and he had written about half of the lyrics out in his characteristic calligraphic style. The song & diary texts frequently utilize Jaak's playing with spelling and letter styles which add to their unique presentation.
This is a beautiful memorial to Johanson's life's work and has been lovingly compiled by several of his work and life collaborators and family, especially his wife and fellow musician Krista Citra Joonas.
I can't be unbiased about my rating and appreciation for this book as I had the pleasure of meeting Jaak in both Toronto and Tallinn in the late 1980's/early 1990's during the Singing Revolution era and the effect of his enthusiastic, infectious and warm personality was a beacon of positivity throughout that era and the memory of it continues to be so up to the present day.
